Crystal Serenity’s Guests Discover Times Gone By in Casablanca

January 25, 2014 Wallace Immen Comments Off on Crystal Serenity’s Guests Discover Times Gone By in Casablanca

You must remember this…but it ain’t necessarily so. In the classic movie, Hollywood imagined Casablanca as a quaint village of whitewashed villas whose life seemed to revolve around a piano bar run by a dapper, worldly-wise […]

Windstar’s New Star Pride: A Yacht Elegantly Transformed

January 17, 2014 Wallace Immen Comments Off on Windstar’s New Star Pride: A Yacht Elegantly Transformed

I’ve sailed in the past aboard the ship now named Star Pride  and always relished the experience of being aboard what I’d like to dream of being my own personal yacht. With a party-sized capacity of  just over […]

5 Trends to Keep in Mind When Planning Your Next Cruise

January 9, 2014 Wallace Immen Comments Off on 5 Trends to Keep in Mind When Planning Your Next Cruise

It seems you can’t go far these days without being told you should have a “bucket list” of things you need to experience before you kick it. But I prefer to think of travel as […]

AmaCerto Guests Enter a Horse-Drawn Time Warp in Old Vienna

January 3, 2014 Wallace Immen Comments Off on AmaCerto Guests Enter a Horse-Drawn Time Warp in Old Vienna

“Wurden sie gerne eine Kutschfahrt?” No, that’s not as rude as it sounds. The driver was just asking us if we would like to take a carriage ride. At the cab ranks around the main squares in […]

The Ups and Downs of Funky Funchal on a Crystal Cruises Tour

December 16, 2013 Wallace Immen Comments Off on The Ups and Downs of Funky Funchal on a Crystal Cruises Tour

So let me get this straight:  two skinny guys are going to steer us safely down that steep hill on this makeshift toboggan? They look a lot like gondoliers in Venice with their jaunty straw […]

Love on the Danube: 5 Things that Make AmaCerto a Sweet Ride

December 3, 2013 Wallace Immen 3

A Do it Yourself “On Your Own” Day in Florence

November 28, 2013 Wallace Immen 1

The abiding truth about Florence is that it’s a long journey inland from the cruise port of Livorno. That kept Firenze safe by being a day’s march inland for invaders, but let’s face it; the […]

Oceania’s Lesson Takes Shoppers to the Kasbah—Snakes Included

November 8, 2013 Wallace Immen Comments Off on Oceania’s Lesson Takes Shoppers to the Kasbah—Snakes Included

A snake charmer was doing head fakes with a five-foot-long viper he’d wrapped around his neck like a scarf. A couple of times he seemed to actually kiss it while a duo of horn players […]

Memories of the Glory That Was Greece on a Walk around Piraeus

September 24, 2013 Wallace Immen Comments Off on Memories of the Glory That Was Greece on a Walk around Piraeus

A taxi tout at the port of Piraeus summed up what he thought tourists could find in the city: “It’s a good place to find a coffee, but that’s about all.” Surely, he was just […]

August 22, 2013 Wallace Immen 1
